The Vatican is the world's smallest nation covering just 120 acres, but its sightseeing complex is beyond compare. It is a tiny city-state that is not only home to the Pope, but to one of the world's greatest museums, the largest church (St. Peter's Basilica), lush gardens and one of the most impressive works of art ever created - Michelangelo's Sistine Chapel.
We spent half a day visiting the Vatican museum, which included a visit to the Sistine Chapel. Unfortunately we were not allowed to take photos of the Sistine Chapel, so we have none to share.
The Vatican museum is impressive and a treasure trove of art; sculptures; spectacular apartments frescoed by Fra' Angelico, Raphael and Pinturicchio; and collections of Egyptian, Greek, Etruscan and Roman antiquities.
